Top 9 A Level Schools in Islamabad

This guide is written by Tutopiya’s education experts to help families compare A Level options.

Islamabad has a strong tradition of Cambridge pathways, with many schools offering Cambridge International or Pearson Edexcel A Levels after O Levels/IGCSE. This guide focuses on those A Level routes and excludes full IB-only and American-only schools.

How this list is ranked (and what “A Level results data” really means)

Helpful datapoints when comparing A Level options in Islamabad include:

• A*/A and A*/A/B rates at A Level over recent cohorts
• Subject breadth, particularly in Pre-Engineering, Pre-Medical, and Commerce streams
• Number of entries per subject and overall cohort size
• University destinations in Pakistan and overseas
• Accreditation with Cambridge International or Pearson Edexcel

Where detailed statistics are limited, parents rely on reputation, alumni outcomes, and exam-support structures.
